Capital Chimney Corp. provides high quality service from people you can trust, all at cost effective prices! We work for our clients and address each specific need they have. We love to answer questions and we have over 75 years of field experience which gives us extensive knowledge on all aspects of chimney repair and services. Our certified technicians will be able to diagnose and offer cost effective solutions on how to fix the problem.
"Capital Chimney was very professional, responsive, and efficient. We are happy with the work done by Charles B, and the quotes and advice provided by Dominic C. They have actual humans answering their phones promptly. They were on time for both appointments and called when they said they would with a precise arrival time on the day of the work. Their quotes were solid and they took the time to clearly explain why they were recommending the work. They also provided before and after pictures. They did not try to upsell and applied no pressure to engage them for additional work, despite having opportunities to do so. In fact, they recommended cheaper alternatives to solving drafts down one chimney as I was pursuing more expensive solutions with them, and we ended up saving about $1,600 over what I had originally thought we needed. While we didn’t get multiple quotes like usual, my impression is they were probably on the expensive side for the work performed, but competence, trustworthiness, and professionalism are worth paying for."

Choosing our company brings you the best of both worlds. We are a small family owned business with just as much experience as the big companies. Our technicians have over 30 years experience each and are also masons. Since we are a family owned business, we aren't just putting in our time at work, we put in our all every time. Don't forget about our no mess guarantee! What to expect with us: One of the first things we do before we start is put down a drop cloth to keep your home clean. After we've thoroughly cleaned and inspected the inside of your fireplace, we then check out the condition of the outside of the chimney. If we find anything wrong while we are on the roof, we will take pictures to show you. We will then go over a estimate with you to decide whether you'd like to proceed with the recommended repairs. Most repairs can be made the same day unless we need to special order some parts. Our customers say that we are courteous, prompt, fair, thorough and clean!
"We were very satisfied with our service from Rob and Fire It Up at the end of September. After buying our first house, we wanted to make sure everything in the chimney was safe and working efficiently. Rob's inspection and estimate were very thorough and detailed. He clearly knows his stuff and didn't pressure us to schedule repairs right away. Mario and team did a full crown coat, put in two liners, and poured insulation. They also replaced duct from the furnace that wasn't venting outside fully. Everyone seemed very knowledgeable. The manager, Toni, stopped by so we could settle up, and she's a sweetheart. Great customer service all around."

Chimney sweeping services FAQs
While it’s possible to sweep your own chimney, it’s usually not a good idea for two reasons. First, inexperienced DIYers are more likely to miss areas of the chimney, which still leaves the risk of house fire due to the remaining residue. Second, chimney sweeping seems like a simple process, but it’s highly dangerous. Soot and creosote are both carcinogenic and can cause breathing issues and lung damage. If you don’t take the same safety precautions that professionals do, you could be putting yourself at risk of serious bodily harm.
You should plan to ask your chimney sweeper questions about the cleaning process they intend to use, the project timeline, and more to get a sense of which professional is right for the job:
What is your process for cleaning chimneys?
How long will the process take?
Will you protect my floors from soot and debris?
Will you do a chimney inspection, too?
Do you have certification from the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) or the National Fire Institute (NFI)?
Will you need access to my roof?
The average cost for a professional chimney cleaning is around $250, but prices range from $130 to $400 or more, depending on a few factors. Some things that have an impact on your total include the size of your chimney, the number of chimneys cleaned, and how accessible the chimneys are.
In some cases, you don’t need to do anything to prepare for chimney sweeping, but professionals always appreciate leaving the area clean and easy to access. As such, it’s a good idea to move fireplace accessories like screens and fire tending tools out of the way, and lay down tarps of drop cloths around your fireplace opening to help keep your floors clean. Laying down a plastic sheet under those cloths or tarps is a good idea if your fireplace is surrounded by carpeting, just to add extra protection. Finally, secure any pets or children away from the work area.
The National Fire Prevention Agency (NFPA) recommends chimney sweeping once per year as a means of avoiding house fires and massive property damage. Over time, creosote and soot build up in your chimney from burning wood and a lack of ventilation. These compounds are both highly flammable, which means a build-up of them inside your chimney puts you at an increased risk of house fire. Chimney sweeping removes any residue and helps reduce the risk of property damage and personal injury from fire.
